Humbled by NBME and CMS

Does anyone else feel like the biggest idiot while reviewing their incorrect answers on NBME and CMS or is it just me ?

Test taking skills

I was reviewing my mistakes that I made on NBME 11 , in most of the cases I made the correct diagnosis but got it wrong because either I was not able to think of it like they want me to or I misread/didn't catch properly what they were asking. Another thing that I do is - sometimes I read too much into the options while eliminating them and 2nd guess everything, the problem is I don't even realise that I am over analyzing it , I just try to make sure I am getting it right ( but it backfired mostly)

It's frustrating because I knew the content but still got it wrong at the last step .

If anyone has any advice on how to improve this kind of test taking problem, it will be really helpful!

Thank you

Neurology observership

How do people actually get the observership at University of Kentucky?

I have seen many applicants rotating there.

I filled their online application but couldn't get a response.

Does anyone know they'll be opening their portal?

I absolutely adore Neurology, love the diversity of cases and I am really passionate about it.

But as a Non US IMG , the recent match rates for Non US IMG as 17% this year ( in contrast to IM : 30%) really makes me wonder if I should go for it .

According to the NRMP data , roughly speaking 1 in 2 IMGs matched in IM while 1 in 4 matched in neurology.

I have already graduated and will be yog -2-3 by the time I apply ,so , I am already running late .

Every other neuro applicant or resident that I have spoken to gives me the same advice - That if I am passionate about it and if my CV is completely neuro oriented that I'll have a good chance in match .

But what did those 3 out of 4 people not do that they didn't match ? It can't be true for all the remaining people that they weren't passionate enough or their CV wasn't neuro oriented, maybe a small percentage of people yes but not all . So why didn't they match?

So I really want you guys to give me a raw and unfiltered truth. Is it really worth trying if I go all in neuro ? What is that sets you apart from others as neuro applicants? And what NOT to do if you plan to apply?

Thank you in advance, I would love it if you guys could give me some input!
